around 2 years ago in certaldo, i spent 4 days ideating and building one of my favourite pieces ever, a sound sculpture that doubled as a vessel if you were patient enough.
last month i remade half the piece, scaled to fit a city apartment and not a sprawling italian villa.
the certaldo vessel. black clay, clear glaze on the inside. around 22 cm wide.
teapot no. 1. making a teapot is kind of a rite of passage in the ceramics world. it’s a test of skill, the hours you’ve put in and the progress you’ve made. the standard of perfection and aesthetic specificity of the output has always annoyed me a bit so here’s my take on it, the first in a series of very odd but extremely usable teapots. growing, interesting, unsettling, and unapologetically present. DM for details.
parts of khajurao temple that were reconstructed and restored. loose chunks of carved stone were incorporated into the base of the temples creating these mad, deconstructed, composite structures. loved seeing how people have interacted with such an ancient place in different ways through the centuries, kind of more interesting than the original sculptures for me.
